Leaders of faith across Nigeria have entered into a peace agreement seen at deepening interfaith narratives ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The peace agreement signed by over 50 Muslim and Christian leaders is a launchpad for a new body expected to promote religious harmony across Nigeria.
“No hate speech, and no disrespect for other religious groups, no calling of people as infidels,” John Praise Daniel, chairman, Northern Christian Religious Leaders’ Assembly, stated.
The former deputy national president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), stated that he hoped the new initiative would curb divisive rhetoric by clerics.
